Question
At 14 days old, does a newborn need to supplement Vitamin AD?
Answer
Infants grow rapidly and are more prone to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to give cod liver oil or Betacarotene, and pair it with oral calcium gluconate. Exposing the baby to sunlight helps absorb calcium. Additionally, adding calcium-rich foods like egg yolks can also be a method of supplementation. Calcium supplementation is a long-term process, and we wish the baby a healthy growth. In terms of pediatric health care, parents should adopt regular methods to help their children with treatment to avoid affecting growth and development. Therefore, it is recommended that parents closely monitor their child’s condition and take them to the doctor in a timely manner.
